    Nurse Midwife vs Labor and Delivery RN. Can't Decide

    NurseKait_11 replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely get experience as a L and D nurse before starting school to become a CNM. I think that nursing experience in L and D would be really, really helpful in the long run. I did my...

    NurseKait_11 replied to lovecanada19's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Since you are located in Virginia, I would suggest looking at Children's National. One of my close friends from nursing school recently got a new grad position in the PICU and they have posted a ton...

    NurseKait_11 replied to yoganurse22's topic in General Nursing

    You are so right. I edited my post. I was trying to understand what the other poster was saying when she referenced people lying to her face. But you're right! It's not really HRs decision. I have...

    NurseKait_11 replied to yoganurse22's topic in General Nursing

    NICU Before Moving to L&D

    NurseKait_11 replied to Amtrojan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that if OB is the path you want to take, go with L&D. As other posters have said, NICU is not Obstetrics and you are mostly dealing with laboring mothers and the after-birth and spend...

    NurseKait_11 replied to Spierre9's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I don't know actually! It was never brought up to me and I didn't think to ask. They give money for furthering education. It's 3,000/ year and 1500/ 6 months but I doubt that would go towards loan...
